FLIER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 694,884, dated March4, 1902.

Application filed April 30. 1901.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JoHNJ. MoOsKnR, a citizen of the United States, anda resident of Woonsocket, in the county of Providence and State of RhodeIsland, have invented a new and Improved Flier, of which the followingis a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to certain novel features of construction bywhich a filer maybe constructed t-o work eiectively and rapidly and atthe same time be produced at less cost than those at presentemployed.

This specification is a specific description of one form of theinvention, while the claims are denitions of the actual scope thereof.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forminga part ofthis specification, in which similar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in both views.

- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the invention, and Fig. 2 is adetail View showing the manner of mounting the presser-foot sleeve.

a and b represent the arms of the iier, which are mounted to rotate inthe usual manner. The arm b carries the yarn, and it is provided at itsupper portion with a plate around the same and passed along the upperend of the arm b to and through the eye c' in the plate c and thencealong the inner side of said plate through the notch @2in its bottom.

d indicates the presser-linger, which has the usual eye d' in its outerend, through which the thread is led. This iinger d is carried on asleeve e, which is held on the reduced lower end of the arm b by a pinb', which works in a slot e' in the sleeve e.` This allows the sleeve torock slightly on the arm; but it holds the sleeve from longitudinalmovement. Carried by the sleeve e isa tension-bar f, which has its endportions separated from the sleeve and is joined to the sleeve at apoint intermediate the ends. The yarn is led from the slot or notch c2of the plate c downward partly around the arm b and between said arm andthe upper end ot the tension-bar f.. It is then passed down alongside ofthis bar and between the lower end of the tension-bar and the lower endof the sleeve e, after which Serial Ne. 58 ,111. (No model.)

itis wound around the presser-linger and led through the eye d in theusual manner.

The'ier thus arranged is much easier and to wind the yarn rapidly andperfectly.

Having thus described my invention, l

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A iiier, havingan arm, a plate secured thereto and provided with an eye atits upper endand a notch vor slot at its lower end, a presser-linger sleeve mountedon the arm, and a tension-bar carried by said sleeve and engaging theyarn at its end portions.

2. A liier having an arm, a plate fastened at one edge thereto andhaving an eye at its upper end, anda notch at its lower end for guidingthe yarn, and a presser-finger ar-` ranged on the arm and having thethread lead thereto from the plate.

3. A liier having an arm, a presser-finger carried thereby, meanscarried on the exte rior of the arm for guiding the thread, and atension-bar from which the thread passes to the presser-finger.

4. A hier having an arm, a presser-iinger sleeve mounted thereon, and atension-bar held by the sleeve and having its end portions separatedtherefrom, for thel purpose specified.

5. A dier having an arm, a presser-nger, a sleeve carrying thepresser-finger and mounted to have a limited rocking movement on thearm, and a tension-bar carried by the sleeve and having its end portionsseparated therefrom, for the purpose specilied.

6.KA flier having a solid arm, a plate secured to said arm and havingmeans at its'ends for guiding the yarn, a presser-iinger sleevemountedjon the arm and havinga slot thereiu,a pin held by the arm andtting in the slot 'to limit the rocking movement of the sleeve,

a presser-iingcr carried by said sleeve, and a tension-bar connectedbetween its ends to the sleeve.

VIn testimony whereof I have signed my nameto this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
